Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger (海賊戦隊ゴーカイジャー Kaizoku Sentai Gōkaijā, translated into English as Pirate Squadron Excitement Ranger) is the 35th season of the Super Sentai series and celebrates the 35th Anniversary of the franchise. It premiered on TV Asahi February 13, 2011, joining Kamen Rider OOOIcon-crosswiki and Kamen Rider FourzeIcon-crosswiki as programs featured on TV Asahi's "Super Hero Time" programming block. The season's motif is pirates and follows the story of five young space pirates in search of the "Greatest Treasure in the Universe".

Its footage and anniversary theme was then adapted into the second season of the 20th anniversary Power Rangers season, Power Rangers Megaforce, the 2014 series Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

The average ratings of the series were 5.0%.[1]

Development[]

For the 35th Sentai series, Toei decided to go big with a major series that acknowledged the past while developing something new and interesting. Following on their success of Kamen Rider DecadeIcon-crosswiki which crossed over elements and concepts of the 9 previous Heisei Riders as well as matters throughout franchise history, they devised a series where similar concepts and cameos would emerge, officially in-canon uniting the Super Sentai timelines (As had been happening in the Versus movies for many years) to permit a team of Sentai heroes used the powers of the previous 34 teams, using the idea that they were aliens who had no idea about the Sentai legacy and their powers were "pirated" versions of all the other teams.

The original intent was to have only teams who were going to give a notable power that would help the Gokaigers appear in a cameo, most notably the previous four teams and several other notable teams, as well as a film with several others appearing in a cameo. However, the tragedy of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake on March 11, 2011, lead to a major outcry to create a series that helped people cope with the tragedies and inspire hope to all people. After one weird fluke, Sentai alumni appeared in many of the episodes in response, unexpectedly leading to changes of story preventing more character development but ultimately letting one actor from all 34 previous series appear throughout the entire series' run.

Plot[]

"The 34 Super Sentai who have protected the smiles of the people! They lost their powers fighting the Space Empire Zangyack, but their powers have been inherited by these unbelievable rogues!"
―Narrator[src]
"These youths travel the great seas of space searching for adventure and romance. They revolt against Space Empire Zangyack. These hearty fellows proudly bear the pirate name! And their name is..."
―Narrator[src]

The Gokaigers use the "lost" powers of the 34 previous Super Sentai teams to fight the evil Universal Empire Zangyack, whose first wave of invasion forces were completely defeated by the older teams until they arrive with reinforcements and invade the Earth once more, and they must visit the past 34 teams to obtain more power to fight against the ever-determined Zangyack.

As they continue collecting more Greater Powers, the Gokai Crew runs into Marvelous' ex-crew mate, Basco, who is also looking for the Greatest Treasure in the Universe, but he wants it all for himself. To that end, he betrayed his old crew and joined up with the Zangyack. He opposes the Gokaigers with his own set of Rangers Keys and his partner Sally, a monkey-like alien who can summon Giant Battle Pseudo-Lifeforms.

Eventually, Gai Ikari, an Earthling, joins the crew as the newest Gokaiger, Gokai Silver, after obtaining his gear from three former Sentai heroes (Burai, Naoto Takizawa, and Mikoto Nakadai) and proving himself worthy of being a Gokaiger. As a Sentai Fanboy, his knowledge of past Super Sentai teams aids the Gokaigers in their fight against the Zangyack Empire and Basco.

For the first time since Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger, the episodes of this season have no special distinction and are merely "episodes" (although Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger also referred to episodes as "episodes", they spelled out the entire word in English and had a period at the end, thus making them "Episode.").

Opening theme
Ending theme

The series's ending theme, "Super Sentai Hero Getter," lists off all of the Super Sentai series, making reference to their songs and motifs, with each of the three verses of the song being played in rotation. The first verse covers Himitsu Sentai Gorenger through Choujuu Sentai Liveman, which all aired in the Shōwa period; the second covers Kousoku Sentai Turboranger through Mirai Sentai Timeranger, which all aired through the remainder of the 20th century; and the last one covers Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger through Tensou Sentai Goseiger, which were all broadcast in the 21st century. The song is remixed into "Super Sentai Hero Getter ~ 199 ver." from their first team-up movie (eliminating all but one of the choruses) and then "Super Sentai Hero Getter ~Now & Forever Ver.~" in the final episode, the latter remix covering Gokaiger and Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters.
